Festival Celebrations in Ethiopia and Eritrea

A few days ago, on the 27th of September, Ethiopia and Eritrea celebrated the public Christian holiday of Meskel. This is the first time I have heard of this ancient religious tradition and it fits in well with my recent posts in August on cultural traditions. In addition to the festival of Meskel, Ethiopia enjoyed the festivities on the 11th of September celebrating the start of the Ethiopian New Year.
